Licensing for College
Hello,
We have 3 laptops that have been donated to our College. We are writing to make sure Open Office can be used for education or business use without violating any licensing.
Please let us know.
Thank you,

Hi Tori,
yes, OpenOffice is open source software. And therefore free of any
license fees.
You can use it for private purposes, or educational, for commercial
businesses or a charity background.
Fore more details please see the license of the Apache Software
Foundation we are using:
https://www.openoffice.org/license.html
Have fun with OpenOffice.

installation files for OpenOffice:

Victoria, all Apache products are open source and freely available to use
on as many computers as you wish for the cost of a free download.
OpenOffice is available at www.openoffice.apache.org. DO NOT pay anybody
to use OpenOffice unless you wish to support open source projects by a
donation to Apache Software Foundation.

Hello Miss Victoria Stevenson,

I am deeply sorry for the gender confusion.
All the best

Hello Mr Stevenson,
I would like to add a small, but important detail.
The use of the software "As is", is free as stated already.
The development /maintenance of the product is not free. It costs
involvement of volunteers.
If the team of Volunteers manage to bring out a new version, it is again
downloadable for free.
We are open to everyone, who wants to help developing OpenOffice, under
the License we distribute the Software with
(https://www.openoffice.org/license.html).
We need volunteers for:
# producing user Documentation (we are open for all formats)
# user support (we currently have 2 channels: user mailing list, forum)
# evaluating Bug reports
# testing new releases
# anylsing code for bugs
# developing new features in the core of the software or as add on.
# maintaining existing code or add ons.
I am sorry if this goes beyond what you are interested in, but I think
you need to understand our DNA. (And where free as in it does not cost
something ends)
Thanks for your time
Peter
